Whether as trousers, skirts or tops, Jeans appeal. Almost everyone has jeans in their wardrobe. This is not because they are the most available, cheapest or best-looking fabrics. No. It’s because they are the fanciest and most relaxed outfits ever.

They have been around for quite sometime. They are worn by people of all ages and sizes. Jeans have a variety of designs and trends---no wonder they have continued to rock the fashion industry.

It’s almost like a staple in men wear collection. It is the other name for style. Highly durable and comfortable, jeans are a great fashion statement. From models to celebrities to professional to teenage guys all love to dress up in their pair of stylish jeans.

It’s becoming a mini-revolution, and by the look of things jeans are taking precedence to other apparels. They supposed to be casual, but sometimes they are worn in formal occasions.

It however does not augur well with some people when it comes to wearing jeans on formal occasions. Among these is Patrick Ntali.

He insists that however much jeans are stylish and hot; they are informal wear and are only supposed to be worn casually.

"Jeans should be reserved for weekends or after the office. You have to be extra careful when shopping for your wardrobe and to know what to wear and when,” Ntali said.

Jean styles are boasting of colourful collections of crystals, coloured pewter, and bold embroidery in chic shapes.

Instead of shopping for big baggy jeans, Pierre Habimana says jean wearers are selecting pairs of jeans that show them off perfectly.

Bootleg cuts and slim straight legs in men’s designer jeans make them look slim, long-legged and just plain fashionable regardless of the size of their body.

Fashions come and go, but jeans are never out of style. This season, the overall look is dressy and elegant.

Jeans are definitely getting leaner with a slightly higher waist than past years. It also seems that loudly faded jeans are slowly losing ground.

On the other hand, it seems that embroidering and stitching on jeans is here to stay.

Nevertheless, being comfortable in your jeans is the most important thing; after all, even the best-looking pair of jeans will look odd if you are uncomfortable in them.

Blue jeans are the most versatile and can be worn with all types of T-shirts, or shirts. For the funky look, freaky washed out is the perfect type.

Jeans make the wearer look cool and trendy for evenings. For daytime functions, pale blue jeans are simply mind-blowing. Go pick your jeans.
